The JMP Python integration has special requirements when it is running on Apple silicon (M1) and later processors:
- Python 3.10 universal2 installers are recommended for Python.org distributions on Apple M1 architecture.
- Python 3.7 through 3.9 for Python.org distributions require the Python.org universal2 installers to be installed to match the Apple M1 architecture.
Note: Using Python 3.9 and earlier might require Xcode to install pandas. JMP requires pandas when using the Python interface in JMP. The Pandas package cannot be installed without Xcode with Python 3.9.x on Apple silicon architecture machines. This requirement is related to Python and a compatibility issue with Apple silicon architecture. Xcode is not required with the Python 3.10.1 universal2 installer.
